Either I never got the email about sending in the W-9 or my junk mail picked it up and I missed it.

Can someone post the contents of that email or send it directly to me so I can get my W-9 in so I can get my free copy of Vista and Office.

I have tried contacting them but have not heard back so I thought this would be my second best option.

Thanks

The deadline was February 1st for sending the W9. I'm afraid you've missed out. It was posted about 10 pages ago.... maybe more or less, that's how I found out what to do.

Here's the link for filling out the W-9. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the deadline--there's a good chance they wouldn't enforce that if you sent it now. Also, you have to fax or snail mail it in addition to submitting it online. Also, there's a phone number on the website of the processing company (Catalysis), so you could call and maybe get some answers, (206) 826-8000. Here's the link:

Do you think it's worth the $10 for the 64bit copy if you can run it?

I already ordered mine. A bargain for a factory disk if you ask me! (whether you use it or not)

Has anyone been able to get a human response from this email address?

[email protected]

I just got a reply to an email I sent them 2 weeks ago. Even though I already received both office and vista 2 days ago.

This is the generic email that they are sending to everyone that contacts them....

So the e-mail is basically pointless, you will get it when you get it. I want mine though, I still haven't gotten it:(:(

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
